People are in cyberpunk, but they are top-level cyberpsychopaths

What she stole were biotechnology secrets, and she had already uploaded a copy to News Channel 54. The company would never let her go.

"Don't worry, they don't dare."

"?"

The girl opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but no sound came out.

But David was kind enough to help her clear up the confusion.

"Because I am from the Terrorist Squad."

“…?!!!”

It seemed that his words were too stimulating or because of excessive blood loss. After hearing this, the girl's eyes widened and then she fainted.

"Oh my god, do you really need to do that?!"

75. Neon lights and neon dreams (6K)

Sasha Yakovleva, a former teammate of Mann, Dolio, and Rebecca, serves as a cyber hacker on the team.

When he was young, his mother died from the side effects of drugs produced by biotechnology.

He came to Night City and joined the Mox Gang, where he learned hacking and Mewtwo techniques. After that, he worked with Mann and others. One day, he had a party with Mann, Dolio, and Rebecca at the top mercenary nightclub "After Life", but he disappeared after that party.

It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth. There was no news from him and he had no contact with anyone.

Until today, it suddenly appeared again, and in the attack of biotechnology.

"Tsk, so she is the Sasha Yakovleva that Mann once mentioned..."

Outside Lao Wei's underground clinic, David was sitting on the steps, smoking a cigarette and glancing at the bright stars in the sky from time to time. He felt like he was looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Because the girl named Sasha needed to undergo surgery, he was kicked out as it was inconvenient for him as a man to be present.

Or the kind that was attacked by Lao Wei and Misty together.

This is really...

She's just a woman. It's not like I haven't seen her before. We see our Lucy every day.

What's more, he was the one who brought this girl here.

Fortunately, he was not the only one outside. There was also Rebecca who hurried over.

But now Rebecca's eyes were fixed on the prismatic iron door under the stairs, and her expression was a little complicated.

"What an idiot! He clearly told Mann that we should do it together, so why did he suddenly disappear for several years and then suddenly appear in the company building alone!"

Rebecca's little face was full of anger, but more of it was worry.

Sasha is Qiwei's predecessor and the former hacker of the team, and he has a very good relationship with them.

But just one day, Sasha disappeared out of thin air, and there was no news of her in the huge Night City anymore.

She even clearly remembered that Sasha drank whiskey on the rocks...

But today it suddenly popped up again.

If it weren't for David, Sasha...

I guess he has fallen to his death, or maybe he was caught by the biotech guys...

Rebecca didn't dare to think further.

Although death is a common occurrence in Night City, I feel particularly uncomfortable when I think about my friends dying.

What's more, Sasha raided the company building. Generally, people who offend the company will die miserably after being caught.

"Well, it's fate that we can meet again. Her injuries are not serious. Old Wei has also helped. At least her life is safe." David reached out and touched Rebecca's little head to comfort her.

He saw all of Rebecca's worries, and slowly turned his head to look at the buildings that surrounded the place.

"Besides, this is Night City, the legendary city of dreams. It's already great to be able to survive in this damn world. There's no need to worry so much. Maybe she just didn't want to cause trouble for you, or maybe she had some unspeakable difficulties."

"That's true, but..."

Rebecca was still a little angry.

I really wanted to run to the clinic right now and slap Sasha on the face a few times to wake this stupid woman up.

"Alright, alright. I've already contacted Mann. They'll be here soon. You can complain to them then."

David slowly stood up and threw the burnt cigarette on the ground and crushed it.

"Tsk..." Rebecca curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "Hey, David, where are you going?"

David was seen walking towards the stairs.

"Well, I have something to do. I need to contact the old witch."

David waved his hand and walked into a remote corner of the buildings without looking back.

The so-called old witch refers to our dear captain, Melissa Rory.

Since the incident, Melissa had called him countless times while on the run, but due to the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to answer.

"I hope there's no one violently smashing things or hitting people right now, right?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

This crazy woman, whenever she encounters something unpleasant, will vent her anger on the members of the Terrorist Squad. This has become the norm and can be said to be part of the daily routine of the Terrorist Squad.

Even he had been subjected to this kind of special treatment many times, but fortunately he was relatively strong and was not beaten so badly.

As for the others, it wasn't so good...

"A half second of silence for the brothers of the Terrorist Squad."

He slowly lowered his head and said so, then dialed Melissa's number.

"Hey, you finally remembered to call me back?!"

The tone of the voice coming from the other end of the phone was very unfriendly, and he was breathing heavily, and it seemed that he had just beaten someone or smashed something.

In response, he just laughed twice: "Ha...haha, Captain Melissa, calm down. Being angry all the time is not good for your skin. And you also know that the situation was urgent at the time..."

"Stop talking about useless things."

Although they were separated by communication, he seemed to have seen Melissa rolling her eyes at him in disdain.

"Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

"Uh...what? Haven't I already met my performance target for this month? Are there still a few missing? I'll go get them right away!"

David tried to get away with it by being cunning, but was ruthlessly exposed by Melissa.

"Stop pretending and tell me what on earth you did in the company square! The higher-ups have already sent people over to take the blame for you. I'm almost dying of annoyance from those fat idiots!"

"Ahahaha, calm down, calm down, be elegant as a woman, Captain Melissa."

In the entire Night City, who is he most afraid of?

Not Arasaka, nor any other company, but this Melissa Rory.

Without him.

Melissa was the only one he called a "crazy woman".

In Night City, where every citizen is a cyber psychopath, Melissa's madness when fighting makes her truly "unparalleled number one."

The first time I confronted this woman head-on, I would have been in big trouble if I hadn't used some shady tactics.

It's just a monster in human skin.

Even if this woman could beat the legendary maker, Adam Hammer, he wouldn't be surprised.

After all, there are specialties in the art industry.

Adam Hammer is specialized in team battles and is equipped with all kinds of heavy firepower.

And this crazy woman specializes in single combat. With a pair of mantis knives in her hands, she can do anything with you. Even if she says she will break your forearm, she will definitely not break your arm.

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!"

"Yeah, yeah." David smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just acted bravely and acted like a good person. When the biotechnology building exploded, I saved a girl who was blown out from inside, and then sent her to the clinic for treatment."

"Well, then what?"

"And then? There is no then, and then I am standing here and calling you to report the situation..."

"Stop fooling me!"

He was suddenly interrupted by an angry scolding on the phone, and he could even clearly hear the sound of a pen breaking.

Melissa was sitting in the office at the moment, holding the metal wreckage in her hand and sneering, "If it's really as simple as you say, then please tell me, what are the wreckage of the hovercraft and the pile of robot fragments on the street?"

"Don't tell me you didn't do it. The wreckage is still blocking the road and hasn't been cleaned up yet. Do you want me to send someone to bring the wreckage back and investigate it one by one?"

"Ahaha, that's not necessary, Captain Melissa... it's not that necessary..."

David scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly: "Captain, you know I'm allergic to roadblocks, so when they blocked my way I just cleared them away..."

Cold sweat involuntarily slid down my temples.

There's no need to investigate the wreckage, it's obvious he did it.

All the traces above were left by wolf claws and grenades with incendiary properties. He was the only one in the entire Night City who used these things, and there was no one else like him.

"Well, forget it, this is not the first time..."

Melissa suddenly sighed, and held her forehead with a worried look, saying, "But... brat, this incident is a bit serious."

"The woman you rescued stole confidential biotechnology documents. Now the higher-ups are looking for her. What are you going to do?"

"Um... Regarding this... Captain Melissa, please wait a moment."

David's tone suddenly changed and became a little serious: "I need you to take a look at this."

He skillfully took out the memory chip and inserted it into the slot, then sent a copy of the data inside to Melissa.

Melissa received the file and opened it, her expression gradually becoming serious.

The so-called biotechnology secrets contained in it are actually the dark side of a drug.

【Category: Painkillers】

[Undisclosed side effects: progressive neurodegeneration]

【Remarks】

1. Side effects will not be disclosed to the public

【2. This product will not be recalled from the market】

Seeing this, Melissa clenched her fists slightly, making a creaking sound.

Although it was only a few short lines, it was enough for Melissa to realize the seriousness of the matter.

This is not the first time that the company has treated its employees as non-human beings, but this is the first time that it has gone so far.

what is this?

Unfinished products for sale?

And it has been selling for so many years?

Or are you treating everyone as guinea pigs?

If it was just a matter of exploiting employees, she would be too lazy to care.

Because this kind of thing is not something she can control, let alone manage.

This is the norm in Night City.

But this kind of thing actually happened in medicine? !

Even the three major companies, Kangtao, Arasaka and Military Technology, dare not do this!

What's more, birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal state of human life. You never know when you may need medicine. What should you do if you encounter such medicine?

Waiting to die? !

Melissa narrowed her eyes slightly, but she was not angry. Instead, she was surprisingly calm and said calmly, "I will keep this document as part of my negotiation with Biotech."

"But I don't want something like this to happen again."
